Citizens don't feel that the criminal justice system is on their side
Today the Shadow Home Secretary, has launched the crime section of the 'Mending our Broken Society' chapter of the Conservative Party’s draft manifesto.
Chris Grayling said "People up and down this country are hugely frustrated with our criminal justice system”. "They feel that it’s just not on their side anymore".
There are plans to:
• Fight booze-fuelled antisocial behaviour in our towns and cities
• Stop retailers selling alcohol at below cost price
• Change the rules so that anyone acting reasonably to stop a crime or apprehend a criminal is not arrested or prosecuted.
"Our proposed changes would put law back on the side of the citizen and get rid of some of the things that make law abiding people so unhappy", Chris Grayling added.
Brighton and Hove is troubled by late night anti-social behaviour, which makes our city streets less safe for all. So I welcome these proposals, and particularly the proposal that makes sure that the victim is put before the criminal.
